The main reason you may struggle with organizing your wedding in Italy is if you let yourself get overwhelmed by too many choices.

Plan Your Elopement In Italy With Some Expert Advice
At some stage, when planning your wedding, you will need to engage the services of a professional wedding planner.
I suggest you do this from the start. An Italian elopement should be an exhilarating idea that excites you and your partner.
Hiring someone who knows the ins and outs of how to plan an elopement in Italy will make the whole process so much more enjoyable.
Well, don’t worry. We are here to make sure that you experience a perfect destination wedding in Italy.

Can You Elope In Italy?
Absolutely! One option is to have a legally binding wedding in Italy. Or you can make the whole thing even more straightforward by getting married back home and then having a blessing or symbolic ceremony in Italy.
Symbolic ceremonies are, by far, the most emotional and engaging ceremony you can have. They are also the easiest type of elopement to plan in Italy.
A civil wedding is a legal wedding. In Italy, this involves the reading of the articles of civil law that relate to marriage.

Not exactly the most romantic experience! Preparing your documents for the civil wedding is also a time-consuming process.
We can assist you should you want to go this route.
If you are religious, then a Catholic wedding might be a dream come true. We can help with that too. Italy has a lot of beautiful churches.
We can help you find the right one, book it, and complete your paperwork.

Wonderful Symbolic Weddings
The final, and in my opinion, the best option, is a symbolic ceremony. Our professional celebrants will talk to you both to introduce themselves.
This way, you can get to know each other and decide if it’s the right choice for you. Assuming all’s well, they will then talk to you again, but this time separately.
By asking you questions about each other and listening to your feelings and relationship history, they will gather some details about you.
They will then use this information to plan and create a bespoke ceremony just for your intimate elopement in Italy.

A celebrant could turn up and just read some standard often heard passages.
However, we feel that your wedding ceremony should be an engaging spiritual occasion that defines and acknowledges the connection between you and your partner.
Our celebrants perform emotional, meaningful, memorable blessing ceremonies. Precisely what a romantic elopement should be.

Where Are The Best Places To Elope In Italy?

If you are considering working with Jules, DO IT. We had the pleasure of being referred to Jules and several other photographers… Jules’ portfolio stood out from the get-go. We HAD to use him, it was clear.
He was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. We aren’t used to being photographed but Jules was amazing, and made us so comfortable. He helped us every step of the way, and was so easy to work with before hand, day of, and afterwards.
He caught us is the most amazing light, and so many candid photos that captured our day and really told a story. His work is top-notch and high class.
Day of the wedding, he was prompt and got to work, he let us know what he needed… wasn’t at all in the way and was a very fun and charming piece of our day. He captured so many important moments and memories that we had forgotten during the blur of the day.
We spent most of our time with him laughing when we took pictures off site. He made us feel so relaxed, confident and important that we still talk about how fun he was to work with.
The quality of the pictures blew us away. We had a reception weeks later at home and asked for a quick turnaround. He delivered the photos early, and the were WONDERFUL.
We were able to use them as a backdrop for our reception to help guests feel like they were there with us.
The compliments we get on the pictures keep coming… without hesitation, if you have an opportunity to work with him, go for it. He’s so easy to work with and the end result is something to treasure.
